"Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation can be great if it does not have a concern for ‘the least of these.” Dr. King's words ring as true now as they did in 1967. Poverty and homelessness are policy choices. And we deserve better. #MLKDay

When we say encampment evictions are violent and dangerous, this is what we mean. A homeless man in Georgia was killed by the government the day before MLK's birthday in front of MLK's church. There is another way. We need housing, not handcuffs. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/01/16/u...

Nobody wants to lose their home. Whether it's from a fire, an unexpected illness, or the sky high cost of rent, losing your home is nobody's plan. Just as we don't blame people in LA for losing their homes, we must stop blaming homeless people or losing theirs.
